Counterfeit Website Monitor
A Monday email that finds fake storefronts using your brand name before your customers do.
Problem
Fake websites were using the brand name to sell knockoffs. Domain registrations can’t be searched by keyword, so the usual way to find one was a customer complaining after they’d already been scammed.
Approach
Every week the tool generates hundreds of lookalike versions of the brand’s domains, including misspellings, swapped letters and other endings, and checks which ones are actually live. It compares the results to last week, so the email highlights what’s new instead of repeating the same list. The company’s own domains are on an approved list so they never show up as alerts.
It sends every week even when nothing changed. That way silence never means it broke.
Result
- The first search turned up three live fake storefronts
- A weekly email to leadership with only what’s new
- No manual searching, and no waiting on customer complaints
